Have you joined the FSC? If not, why not?

since most of us aren't sure what the fsc does from day to day, we don't really have a reason to be involved with them. they ARE sure what we do. just because they feel they're doing something for our industry doesn't mean most people think so - mostly we hear of their changes of personnel, and occasionally of their involvement in a crisis.

their estrangement from our community is one reason so many people aren't anxious to join, and why a lot of webmasters feel that they only appear when they want our money. other trade organizations try and involve themselves with the people they represent. the fsc holds itself aloof, and that doesn't really lead to a feeling that they are part of us.

i live in l.a. and the fsc at least used to be here. they never came to a webmaster lunch, and they were very announced. some had pretty large attendance. not all of us go to conventions, and not all of us are the big boys. we don't know how they choose the lawyers they use, and i'm wondering why they didn't go for an interlocutory injunction - or if they did.

do paying members get a say in any of the things they do?
